I Would Not Put My Kids In Harm!!

Alright, I have to get this off my chest. We have a pit-bull named Sadie Girl. I get tired of people judging me and making me feel bad because I have a pit-bull. I was told once that I shouldn’t have her because I have kids. Sadie Girl was neglected by her previous owner at my friend’s house. My friend couldn’t keep her, because she has cats. The cats and Sadie Girl wasn’t a good mix. While my friend was trying to find a new home for her I got to watch how she interacted with her kids. Sadie Girl loved her kids. The most harm she brought to them was licking them to death. My friend called a shelter to see if they would take her. They said they would, but she more than likely would get put down because they were only allowed one pit-bull. I couldn’t stand the thought of a dog getting put down because of what kind of dog she was. My landlord didn’t want us to have a pet, but I called her a begged her to let us have her. While my landlord was talking it over with her husband I did research on pit-bulls and found out a lot of good information on them. She finally agreed, but she had to be an outside dog. I can’t stand how people are so quick to judge her without even meeting her. I want people to think about two things Do you think I would honestly put my kids in harm’s way? Do the research yourself! You will see media only shows the bad things because that is what get people’s attention. Here are some key facts I found while do the research myself :
